What battery to use in my daily driver recommendations

I remember when batteries had longer warranties than 30 months, and I remember when well-chosen batteries used to routinely outlast their warranties. But combine "Always The Low Price…ALWAYS" type of thinking, and laser focus on maximizing corporate profit this week without anything else mattering, and the ability to engineer and manufacture products to last not an hour longer than the warranty, and the buy-up of old-line, dependable brands by private-equity/hedge fund money-extraction outfits, all add up to enshittification, battery-style.

I also remember when Mac's Batteries in Oregon would make you a battery, with removable cell caps in accord with Scripture. But that was in 1995, and the past is a foreign country.

Now get the hell offa my lawn.
